Oh my god, this is really news to me. Do we need to reapply for OCI every time we apply new passport for the kids. My daughter is 2 year old and she got British passport with 5 year validity. Last year I applied for PIO as I was not eligible for OCI at that time. This year I became eligible and with me she also became eligible for OCI. So we both applied for OCI. Now if you are saying that she need to reapply once she renews British passport, there is no point for me to apply for OCI for her as she already had PIO which was valid up to 15 years. Thats really waste nowdocvenkat wrote:ban.s wrote:this is not a new rule - i don't know exactly when this was introduced but it's in place for quite sometime.docvenkat wrote:Hello people , just to let everyone know

Does anyone know how much OCI renewal costs
it's mandatory:smatt wrote: The renewal is not mandatory.......I thnik so..........
That's sad, I had PIO valid for my child till 15 years, so I should have kept quiet and applied for OCI once she get a new passport after 5 years where she would have had more valid period. I just thought because it is permanent and no renewals etc, I applied OCI thinking that as a permanent optionban.s wrote:it's mandatory:smatt wrote: The renewal is not mandatory.......I thnik so..........
16. Whether OCI documents have to be re-issued each time a new passport is taken?
OCI registration certificate and visa have got to be re-issued each time a new passport is issued up to the completion of 20 years of age and once after completion of 50 years of age in view of biological changes in face of the applicant.
Re-issuance of OCI registration certificate and visa is not mandatory, each time a new passport is issued between 21-50 years of age. However, if the applicant wishes to obtain new set of OCI documents, he/she can apply for the same. If the OCI card is issued at the age of 50 years, there is no need for re-issuance of OCI.
It is not crystal clear from the website whether you to re-apply in full again (thereby paying the full fee) for the OCI once your passport expires or just renew it for £18 with a new sticker in your new passport. It does mention both have to be re-issued-booklet and visa though...mrproblem wrote:Oh my god, this is really news to me. Do we need to reapply for OCI every time we apply new passport for the kids.

Does anyone know how much OCI renewal costs
I have tried looking for the same information on London HCI site but am having difficulty..Showy wrote:I think as mentioned earlier due to biological changes during these periods the renewal is required, just a transfer of visa will not be valid but a full check will be required again hence a full price (whatever it may be at the time!!!!)..
Please share experience
If anyone has had any experience of this, either travelled with someone who has renewed their passport but not the OCI and had issues or not
or anyone who went through the renewal process
This would help many to make decisions as to apply for OCI or not for the family.
Many Thanks

I've applied in person on 24th March in London, however I can't see my application status since a week. The link used to say 'UnderProcess ON' looks like no more working(Invalid Input. Please go back and try again). Can I know the link to check the status if I'm missing something.
Thanks,

Are there any particular documents required for my son & grandson.
Son is 31 yrs old and grandson is 9 months old. Any advise will be appreciated.
